CONDENSED NEWS.
The Elopement From Janssville Minn.

The reported elopement OF Rev. David
Seymour and Mrs. John A. Henry from
GAINESVILLE, Waseca county, Mimi, is ver-
liable fact, and Mr.. Henry out on the hunt
ior the guilty pair. They left on Monday,
Aug. 1. going apparently in opposite direc-
tions. Seymour claimed that he was going
TO Luvsrne to settle some debts which he
contracted last year when on the Luverno
circait, but he went as far west as Mankato,
where he got his beard shaved and his hair
cut. He then came back on the late train
and, it is supposed, met Mrs. Henry
at Winona, she having checked her
trunk to Minnesota City. Inquiry shows
that she did not stop at that place. Rev.
Seymour is OF medium size dark complex
ion, black curly hair. He was born in
Cornwall, England, and came to America
twelve years ago and settled in Illinois.
Three years ago he came to Minnesota and
his first years ministry was at Slayton,
the second year at Luverne and the third
at GAINESVILLE. He was well liked and the
church was prospering under his care.
From reports it seems that Seymour had
hackslid and quit the ministry for u while
several years ago.
and as near as can be learned, was then
accused OF fondness Tor ladies. He leaves

years and the youngest eighteen months.
Mrs. Seymour is pretty little woman and
apparently quite intelligent. She says:
l lived sixteen years with Mr.. Seymour
and know him well enough to know that
he does not love the woman he took away
with him, and he will desert her when it
suits his pleasure to do so.
Mrs. Henry is the only daughter OF Will
lam Allen. one Of the oldest settlers and
most prominent citizens OF GAINESVILLE.
Mrs. Henry is twenly-four years old, and
previous to this affair bore most estima-
ble reputation. She is tine musician.
Later reports indicate that the runaways
have reached Canada and will probably go

Is Your Wife q Beggar2

L was conversing the other evening
with young married man of my ac-
quaintance, writes Boston correspond
ent of The Pittsburgh Dispatch, on a
subject which has recently attracted
some attention in the newspapers and
magazines-namely. the financial re-
lations that should exist between hus-
band and wife. The ideas he expressed
were so strikingly original that l can
not forebear to quote them. Said
he: Before I Abandoned the condition
of batchelorhood made up my mind,
from extended observations, that the
average husband was pig. 1 did not
wish to be a pig myself, and so deter
mined to pursue in everything course
precisely the reverse OF that followed
by the average husband. The average
husband makes great fuss if he is re-
quested to do an errand. Accordingly
make point of asking my wife be-
fore 60 to my office everv morning
for a list of commissions, which exc
cute with the utmost care. The aver
age husband at home bullies the wom-
an, frets like year-old infant over
everything that does mot suit him. and
makes his family unhappy try to
do just the opposite. The average
husband doles out his money 10 his
wife rs if she were beggar. There
fore, give my wife every cent l earn.
and she makes me an allowance for
pocket money.
''For it seems to me," continued this
eccentric young man, ''that the notion
entertained by the average husband
concerning his wife's rights in the FAM
lily purse is as wrong as wrong can be.
In sober truth. he thinks she has not
any. He supports the family, and for
the money he generously gives her she
should be duly grateful. Now, in my
opinion, this is false assumption. AS
a rule, she does as much to support the
family as he does, and can very easily
prove it. Take my own case rs an ex.
ample. We live very comfortably. al
though our means are not sufficient to
employ more than one domestic. But
If had no wife I should have to cn-
gage housekeeper, with an under SER
want, and it would cost me nearly
twice as much to keep up my little
establishment as it does now; in fact,

The Value of Succulence in Grass or
Hay.

Green grass produces more butter,
more milk. more flesh and more fat
than the later cut. I took five COWS
and fed them some time on grass cut
as it began to head up. weighed the
milk and / weighed the products of
butter and cheese--for l was making
both at the time-for n week or ten
days. Then ! stopped and for week
or so fed hay that was cut when the
seed was filing fed for week in
this way without taking notes of guam
t:ty of milk produced, further than to
observe that it was dropping down.
Then I commenced measuring and
weighing the product and found 1t had
fallen off good deal. Then I tried,
by degrees, feeding meal. little at
first and watching the result I found
it took five pounds of meal per day to
make the late cut grass equal to the
early cut in producing milk, butter and
cheese. Now cut my hay early and
avoid the use of late fodder whenever |
can.--Prof. Arnold IN Hoard's Dairy
